Overview of This Information Collection

    Title: Holders or Containers Which Enter the United States Duty 
Free.
    OMB Number: 1651-0035.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Current Actions: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this 
information collection with no change to the burden hours or to the 
information collected.
    Type of Review: Extension (without change).
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Abstract: Subheading 9803.00.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 
of the United States (HTSUS), codified as 19 U.S.C. 1202, provide for 
the release without entry or the payment of duty of certain substantial 
holders or containers pursuant to the provisions of 19 CFR 10.41b.
    Section 19 CFR 10.41b eliminates the need for an importer to file 
entry documents by instead requiring, among other things, the marking 
of the containers or holders to indicate the HTSUS numbers that provide 
for duty-free treatment of the containers or holders.
    For U.S. manufactured serially numbered holders or containers which 
may be released without entry or the payment of duty under 9801.00.10 
HTSUS, 19 CFR 10.41b requires the owner to place the following markings 
on the holder or container: 9801.00.10, HTSUS (unless the holder or 
container has a permanently attached metal tag or plate showing, among 
other things, the name and address of the U.S. manufacturer); the name 
of the owner; and the serial number assigned by the owner. For serially 
numbered holders or containers of foreign manufacture for which may be 
released without entry or payment of duty under 9803.00.50 HTSUS, 19 
CFR 10.41b requires the owner to place markings containing the 
following information: 9803.00.50 HTSUS; the district and port code 
numbers of the port of entry; the entry number; the last two digits of 
the fiscal year of entry covering the importation of the holders and 
containers on which duty was paid; the name of the owner; and the 
serial number assigned by the owner.
    This collection of information applies to the importing and trade 
community which is familiar with import procedures and with the CBP 
regulations.
